Mounting a SD card: successfully outside the camera, no luck when trying it via the camera and USB cable.

Hello Nils & Everybody

In the mean time I know a bit more. The problem I dealt with in my previous 
mail, is this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1256591

Today, I have added my findings to this report. 

Yes, Nils - the device notifier DOES pop up when connecting SOME compact (ptp) 
camera via a USB cable. However - mounting via Dolphin or Gwenview in normal 
user mode is not possible, because of which the SD card contents do not show 
up. 

Today, I got to know two other 'workarounds' in addition to the one I already 
dealt with in my previous mail: putting the SD  card in the SD card reader. 

One additional workaround  is simply opening a terminal, after which I carry 
out  'sudo dolphin'.  After doing so, I close Dolphin and I start Gwenview or 
again Dolphin via the device notifier. Now, the photo's are being shown as they 
should be.

A second one is Digikam in normal user mode - that package still does download 
the photo's - even with the camera connected - notwithstanding the bug. 

However it may be- the bug is still there - I would appreciate it being fixed. 

FInally - at present, I work with a 2013 variant of 'Canon Powershot'. 
However, with two other compact camera's I have been working with recently, I 
had exactly the same problem.  Moreover, at the bug report, several other 
camera's are being mentioned. 

Respectfully yours,
Bas G. Roufs.
